Is it really necessary to allow people to second (or third, fourth) requests? It's not going to get filled just because a lot of people *want* it, and for people who track the thread it's a waste of our time and effort deleting comments/e-mails from our inbox with what's basically spam! :/

I fill some requests specifically because out of my list of "maybes", certain prompts have more +1s. This is a ridiculous request, seconding requests is standard across every kink meme in fandom.

I don't see what difference that makes, personally, if someone likes a prompt, they write it. Anyway, that's how you work, and I'm not going to knock that. :)

Just because something is standard, it doesn't mean it has to happen. It's a suggestion, no need for a big discussion. I raised it with a mod, nobody else. Their word will be final, but we all have a right to ask a question!

This might be better posted at the Help/Concerns/FAQ post linked in the sticky:

This conversation comes up over and over again, and basically, it's a factor of tracking (I also track, btw), and the negative effect of policing enthusiasm is probably greater than the irritation of a few trackers.

Thanks for the link. I've not seen this raised before actually, but I'll go and have a look there. Thanks! :)

A few things:

1. This should have gone in the Help Post.

2. Unfortunately, we do not screen people's comments and that includes seconds, thirds and so on.

I understand your frustration, as a mod I track everything as well and gmail has decided to not filter comments to initial posts to proper folders, but that is a part of how the community works. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

OK, thanks for the reply.

I track my requests too and sure, I prefer a fill, but color me weird, I'm happy when someone likes them enough to second them. I understand not everyone feels the same though.
